Angel story quilt progress

Today I pulled out An Angel Story quilt. The book was published in 2004, and I think I started to sew it at that time. Then it has been “forgotten” for ten years. It is time to get it finished now because in May I have joined a class with Annie Downs. It had been fun to have this quilt finished by that time and bring it to show her. Just had to add the outher border.

Then I took it with me to the cantina at work to baste it. So lucky that I can use the big tables there. Makes it more easy to baste.

When I basted it I recognized a lot of OLD fabrics. Guess that I would have chosen different fabrics if I was going to sew it now. But I really love the look of this one too.

Back home I started to machine quilt it. Hope to do it little by little, in between some hand stitching. Because machine quilting is a little bit rough on my neck.

Rusken is helping me with this quilt. He is trying to steal the Pinmoors I have used to baste this quilt.

a real beauty, love your colour choice, think I will have to look out for the book, not sure the quilt will be made but maybe a couple of blocks I would like to have a go at, must try my hand at applique, mind you paper piecing lessons are top of the list but they could slip down and applique might take over

Rusken always amuses me. Cats just have to be into everything. I guess you were spurred on to finish this quilt now that Hanne has completed hers and I am sure Anni will love both of them. I sure do. Hope you don't overdo the machine quilting and hurt your neck. Take care.
